Bovis help your money go further in commuter hotspots
Life on the commuter belt is made easier - and cheaper - at the popular Hedge End, Chestnut Place and Carshalton developments.
With inner-city property prices continuing to rise and forcing an increasing number of people into the more affordable suburbs, it is unsurprising that the commuter belt is expanding; now encompassing average journey to work times of up to 90 or even 120 minutes. Value for money is a key concern for these budding commuters, and with recent research revealing that homes in prime commuter territory can be half the price of their London equivalents, Bovis Homes’ popular Oak Tree Place development is hitting the spot, offering spacious family homes, a convenient location and excellent value for money, less than 15 miles from Southampton and Portsmouth, and also within easy reach of London.
The three, five and six-bedroom properties at Oak Tree Place boast good sized rooms and gardens, and come with a full specification of fixtures and fittings, including kitchens complete with cooker, hob, dishwasher and washing machine, and luxury bathrooms of stylish white sanitaryware. The large and attractive properties are perfect for those looking for a home close to urban amenities but away from the daily grind of the city.
Lisa Ley, Area Sales Manager at Bovis Homes, comments: “With rising city prices forcing more and more people out of the property market, it is understandable that homes in the quieter and more affordable suburbs are experiencing an increase in demand. The Oak Tree Place properties present an ideal opportunity for those wanting to leave the fast-paced urban life behind without compromising on the style and modern comforts you often get from city living. All designed, built and finished to the highest standards, the homes give residents more for their money and are proving equally as popularwith young professionals wanting a home near to the office as with families wanting to raise their children close to but outside of the city.”
